Where’s the numbers?

Actual numbers not speculation from dirt sheets

If there were worse Max numbers than were reported, you can assure yourself that WWE PR would have had that out. Remember the koonwa ratings posts?

And if they were as high as they supposedly are Tony would be the first to post them.

And he confirmed the report the next day. You don’t think Nick Khan can get the max numbers if he wanted to? Why isn’t Dr Featherstone putting out the “real” numbers?

AEW is no longer working with one of their producers.

Fightful Select has confirmed that Sarah Stock has been let go by AEW. We've not been given a reason as of yet.

Stock was known among talent to be stern with guidelines as a producer/agent/coach. She was also a producer for WWE for five years between 2015 and 2020. Stock had been with AEW for the last two years.

Stock hadn't wrestled after 2015 until a 2022 series of tag matches in Mexico. She's not wrestled since.

We'll work to find out more details, but as of now we've not learned a reason that she was let go. We've heard that she did raise issues with the company's mental health program and department being heavily shifted, but haven't heard if that contributed to the departure.

I'm nearly ready to admit defeat on this one.

Nearly.

:whoa:
I only started to do the legwork on the data because motherfukkers won’t listen simply because they don’t like it. I don’t like it either, but evidence says it’s working despite the minuscule IWC complaining about it (which includes me).

I just mean defeat on the Darby bit, I've always been pretty fine with the DR angle and it's been brilliant at times recently :yeshrug:

Until I saw those numbers I assumed I was in the minority. It just feels like a proper heel angle to me and it's getting the proper reactions. People fukking hate them. Fans get disappointed every month, but that's the point.

That's how I remember it feeling tuning in to Raw week after week being promised that Stone Cold would get his chance at revenge and then he'd get screwed by the Corporate goons AGAIN. The Stone Cold/Rock Wrestlemania 15 match was pure HEAT because of everything SC had to go through for nearly a year just to get on that card.

Whoever it is, with THAT field left in the Owen and after that locker room pop for the Trios win, it's gonna be fire :ahh:

The early angles they were going with were poorly done but they got better with it. But the Moxley matches have been bad for the most part. I can hate a heel like I’m supposed to hate a heel and still be entertained, but I was not entertained by most of his matches.

But maybe that’s about the only way to get legit heat in AEW anymore without being a masterclass at character work like Christian - have shytty matches

Like which acts are the most legitimately hated - Moxley, Yuta, Jericho. Then there’s Don Callis.

People still cheer MJF. People cheer when other notable heels are going ape shyt in the ring like Fletcher and Takeshyta.
